Athlete Run-In: Marcus Fizer's Lack Of Ones
We know we said we were gonna take some time off from the athlete run-ins, but it's the Thursday before Christmas, the wireless here is spotty (but the coffee's surprisingly good) and we want to get home early so we can be made fun of by our uncles for our hair.

End Of Days For Quin Snyder
Well, OK, we're back in brittle, frighteningly cold South Central Illinois right now — where, unlike, New York, we at least didn't have to walk to work — and we watched that Illini destruction of Missouri last night. It was so brutal that we took less joy in the victory than sympathy for Missouri,...
Johnny Damon Is Still Gone
Just to be mean, the New York Post ran this photo illustration on its back page today, and we officially enter Day 2 of the Johnny Damon to the Yankees story: Acceptance. Red Sox fans are having trouble with the move, including one saying, "enjoy your corporate haircut, Johnny: You're dead to me."...

Fun With Yahoo Photos
We've all been there. You're at a party, and the big foreign dude who's always banging his head into things has taken a little too many 'shrooms. He's freaking out. He's screaming. "The dragons, man, the dragons, they're EVERYWHERE! I'm sorry, Papa, I'm sorry! Moccasins! Moccasins!"...

Blogdome: Hey, Who Likes Voting?
• We're wary of any blog awards that involve voting, but we find these considerably more trustworthy than those "Weblog Awards" from a few weeks ago: The Red Reporter's 2005 Sports Blog Awards.

Previously we have examined the great fan blogs of the NFL and Major League Baseball, and what an interesting journey it was.

A Beer Gut For A Beer City
We know it hasn't been the most productive offseason for our beloved St. Louis Cardinals, and we feared they would, in the face of growing public criticism in the face of a new stadium, make a rash deal just to say they're doing something.
